Utilizing the Lightning.

The electric railway from Portrush to the
Giants Causeway has been completed and
trains are now running. 1t is narrow-gauge
and eight miles long. Along one side of it,
on strong posts about two feet high is the
electric conductor. 1t is continuous fat
strip of wrought iron nicely insulated. At
tached to the forward car Of the train are
two metallic brushes so adjusted that they
rest tlexibly, but firmly on the smooth sur
face of the conductor during the entire trip.
This establishes an unbroken connection be-
tween the conductor and the machinery ON
the leading car by which the electric motive
power is utilized. The engineer increases,
decreases or cuts off the current by brake,
at pleasure. Four cars carrying 100 passen-
gers can be taken up a grade of ITO feet to
the mile at the rate of ten miles an hour.
The dynamo engines are very liable to get
out of order, however. and frequent resort
to steam power has to be made.

A Queer Surrender.

A singular case of desertion from the army
came before an Austrian court-martial re-
Gently. A Carniolan recruit deserted the
ranks in 1S4S. He lived for thirty-nine
wears in the mountains aud forests of Carni-
ola and Carinthia, associating only with
shepherds and woodcutters his only shelter
being in huts of his own construction. He
ing resin, but at last, as old age came on, he
got tired of his mode of existence, and in his
sixty-third year he surrendered to the mill
tary authorities. They have condemned him
to eight months hard labor, which, under
the circumstances, seems rather harsh SEN

The Would-be Monarch.

There is nothing German in the appear

World. He is thorough Bourbon, resem-
bles his grandfather, Louis Philip, and IS
a striking likeness of Louis XIV, as repre-
sented in his early portraits. He was edu,,
Gated at the Theresanum at Vienna, and
subsequently at the Ecole Militaire. He has
served in the Austrian army, both in the
cavalry and in the infantry. Prince Ferdl-
nand is one of the closest friends of the
Crown Prince Rudolph, and they have much
the same tastes. Hehas scientific collections
at the family palace in Vienna, which con-
tain great number of rare and splendid OBJ

mother, and is fond Of reading, music ana

The number of convictions of wealthy
criminals that have been had in various parts
of our country within the last year or two,
indicates a disposition to enforce the law
against the rich law-breaker as well as
against the poverty-stricken offender. This
is a sign of healthy public sentiment and
will have a strong tendency to do away with
prevalent belief that there is one law for
the poor man and another for the rich man.
The New York and Chicago boodlers have
been convinced by the stern logic of events
that their millions cannot save them from
merlted punishment. Let thief be called a
thief and punished as a thief, whether he
steals dollar from the merchants till or a
fortune from the public treasury. The indi-
cations are that there will be, in the future,
less crime i'll high places.

The new marriage and divorce laws of
Michigan will go into effect on the 27th day
of September next. After that date, parties
who desire to commit matrimony in Michi-
gan will have to obtain a license from the
county clerk. AS all the surrounding states
have marriage license laws, there will be no
convenient locality for runaway matches
Ministers and justices of the peace along the
Ohio and Indiana border are about the only
parties who will suffer to any extent by the
new statute. They have, heretofore, reaped
quite a harvest by solemnizing Ohio and
Indiana marriages, but this business will
cease under the operation of the new statute.
Parties who desire TO sever the marriage
relation will find it much more difficult to do
so under the new divorce law than under the old
one. What lawyers term pro c0nJesso cases,
N which both parties are generally willing
and anxious for dissolution of the marriage
tie, will be practically abolished and the OPP
.portunity for collision which exists under
the present statute will be cut off. In all

witnesses, so that the rights of minor child
rem, if any there be, may be protected by the
courts, aud the truth may be brought out
and shown to the judge by the testimony,
instead of being effectually concealed, as has
been too frequently the case under the pres

obtaining decree of divorce whenever the
applicant shall have a meritorious case, but
trumped up cases where Barkis is willin' +"
on both sides and where there is no cause for
a separation other than that the parties have
become tired of each other and want to
marry somebody else, will find little favor
under the provisions of the new statute.

TIE president has written a letter declin-

sition that has been manifested toward him
and his presence on that occasion, by the
members of that organization. 1t is just as
WE'LL perhaps better, that he has concluded
to remain away All talk about his being
insulted or treated with disrespect, had he
concluded to visit st. Louis at that time, is
the merest folly; nevertheless, he would not
have been received with any great degree of
enthusiasm, nor would he have been regarded
in the light of welcome guest. His record,
both before and since his election to the
presidency, has not been such as to endear
him TO the hearts of the old soldiers TO any
great extent, and il would have been an act
of hypocrisy on their part TO pretend other
wise. He says in his letter that he is not
conscious of any act which should make him
fear to meet the grand army of the republic
or any other assembly of his fellow citizens.
Certainly not, there would be nothing to
fear, and it would indeed ,be an unfortunate
thing if anything should occur to cause the
chief executive to fear to meet any gathering
of his fellow citizens. 1t is not so much
Mr.. CLEvELAND's acts that have given offense
to the old veterans as it is his words. If he
thought it his duty to override the will of

he could have discharged such duty without
going out of his way to heap insult and ridi
cule upon men who, if not better men than
he, were certainly more patriotic.
